Butte City, California Public Records

The registration deadline falls 15 days before any election, though California also offers conditional voter registration during the 14-day period before Election Day and on Election Day itself at designated locations. Voters must provide a California driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number when registering. Because Butte City is an unincorporated community without its own municipal government, there are no mayoral or city council elections here. Instead, residents vote in Glenn County Supervisor elections - the county is divided into five supervisorial districts - along with California State Assembly and Senate races, U.S. Congressional elections, statewide ballot measures, and special district elections for boards governing irrigation, fire protection, and other local services. Voters can find their assigned polling place, vote center, or ballot drop box location by visiting the Glenn County elections website or calling the Registrar of Voters office. California has transitioned many counties to a Vote Center model allowing voters to cast ballots at any designated center in their county during an extended voting period. Glenn County predominantly uses vote-by-mail ballots, with all registered voters automatically receiving mail ballots for each election. These can be returned by mail with postage-paid envelopes, deposited in official drop boxes, or brought to vote centers. California does not have a U.S. Senate race in 2026; the next regular Senate elections are in 2024 and 2028. Public election records in California include voter registration rolls available with restrictions to protect privacy primarily for political and election purposes, campaign finance disclosures filed with the California Fair Political Practices Commission and accessible at www.fppc.ca.gov, candidate statements and filings available through the Glenn County elections office, precinct-level election results published after each election, and ballot measure documentation. The Glenn County elections website publishes detailed results by precinct after election certification. To request an absentee or mail ballot, registered voters are automatically sent mail ballots, but voters can also request replacement ballots or specific ballot delivery by contacting the Glenn County Registrar of Voters by phone, in writing, or online through the Glenn County elections portal up to seven days before the election.
